Default 3inch PA Body Lift installed! Pics

Finally got everything done except for the front bumper, that will be next weekends project. Overall im very happy with this lift and the kit came with perfect directions and pictures. Everything i needed was included, even the little pointless plastic trees. Here are some pics for your enjoyment.

Looks great. Gotta respect the parking lot mods. I did my whole stereo in Best buy parking lot. Figured if I needed any parts, I wasn't too far away. BTW, How does the front bumper get realigned?

Im supposed to grind off a little metal up front but i didnt have any power outlets to plug in the grinder. I had to wait and put everything back together so i could drive the truck near one lol

I live in a barracks so this is the best i get, im just happy the parking lots are paved lol. I guess I kept the cops busy, they watched both days in the next parking lot. At first I thought i was doing something wrong then I just got used to them being there.

haha i remember those days, what branch are you in? im in the USCG and used to live on base as well. your truck looks good man, how can you tell if your truck has had a body lift? my truck is "stock" the way i bought it, but it looks like it sits almost as high as yours, i have the same rims as you as well, my tires are 265/65r17's. any thoughts?

Just locate the body mounts and see how big the pucks are.
